Other teams have likely been courting our talent heavily since 30 sec after Jo's termination was announced. My guess these guys FB or Instagram messages lit up with offers and some of them have been talking with other programs representatives before Elko was even announced.

Good. GTFO if you aren't for A&M. Need guys who have pride in Maroon and White, not who the coach is.


LOL good luck going back to 1985


That's my class. Watch it!

This. And they're probably throwing the bank at these guys as well. Transitions suck for a reason

College football is getting less and less compelling to watch. A starter who would be starting is transferring? What other league has 1 year contracts for players?


Spot on. College football has become a circus lead by clowns. These kids and coaches are out of control.

It's hard for me to understand leaving when a coaching upgrade is coming. Like...the dude who yall were playing for was getting outcoached. You don't want to experience playing for a coach who can have us better than 8-4?

Elko already of to a **** start.

The most important recruits are guys currently on the team.

Is it NIL money? Is this it from now on? Myles stuck with us and went number one in the draft! Von went number 2.

We were 10-2 in 1985. We went 6-0 at home and beat tu 42-10. I would take that.

If your new coach doesn't win big in the first 3 years, then they never will. We have to get that through our heads. Or more likely we are back in this exact same spot in six years.

Presumably dude was already planning on leaving. I think ERob getting a shot as HC was the only thing keeping him around ngl

Those players that are not committed to making this team a NC contender under Elko are welcome to leave.
Thanking you for your past service in advance.

Walter will be a top 5 pock in the 2025 draft. Too bad he won't list A&M as his school.

This. While assessing one's value, one must ask how he contributed to a non-bowl team last year and a 7-5 record this year. Sorry, but other than Ainias, I'm not gonna lose sleep over the decisions of very wealthy children.

Pretty sure we've already proven stars don't matter


Greatest class in the history of the game & we went 12-12 the next 2 seasons

It's a great way to keep up our 8-4 history

Oh crap. This is actually a big deal. Losing Evan Stewart lowered the ceiling on the team as he had massive potential but wasn't really making that big of an impact this year. Losing Nolen will noticeably hurt the team. He was a big contributor.

Hopefully this isn't the start of a major talent loss. I expected we would lose some valuable talent and probably a top recruit of two, but wasn't expecting this.

With ERob gone this should've been expected.

Highest-rated recruit ever, but TAMU is no longer in a postion of weakeness. Just go buy another dude who wants to be here.

I would be surprised if he picks Tennessee, they were cheering his injury this year.

He would be the one to say his high school on SNF.

With the right development, Walt Nolen can be pretty special. I don't know for sure but this feels like him looking towards his NFL future and almost nothing to do with CFB

Highly likely he will not even if he is an AA. DT's are not as highly valued. The only top 5 DT the past decade was a 300+ guy who ran 4.8. Good luck matching that

This happens at every school when there is a coaching change, there's probably much more to come unfortunately

Good, maybe we'll get to see GBD finally.

Seems he was one of the ones Jimbo had a hard on for, for whatever stupid reason.

Dude looks like 5th year NFL player and kicked ass the few plays he was allowed in the game this year.

Let the money do its thing again. You guys are forgetting we are loaded. We got history's best recruiting class in modern history with ClownJim.

These kids coming and going really don't care about playoffs, school traditions, etc. they want their money and we can give it to them.

You wanna run over to Tenn and get your peanuts? Fine. But we will kick up the collective once again and buy some replacement talent.

I would be more worried if we didn't have the wheelbarrows of money round here

Follow the money I say……

We are going to look like a big 12 team next year with t.u. and land thieves getting our players didn't take long for the script to flip. Jimbo sitting back laughing and counting coins I will say it for the last time fire that f****** John Sharp.

Owens
E. Stewart
S.Stewart
White
Moose
Daniels
Mojo
Brownlow Dindy

Likely others

Said it on the previous page. GBD in his few snaps stands out more than any of the others. Nolan had a solid year with 8.5 TFL & 4 sacks, but them you realize most of that was in 2 games vs Ark & Auburn. Like the rest of the DL he was a no show against LSU.
